This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0000087) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, polyketide. It includes a member from the lasalocid biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces lasaliensis [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in Actinobacteria.
